Beautyrest Level Two Mattress
Lower concern for typical PFAS exposure, but Beautyrest does not disclose chemical treatments.
Beautyrest Level Two is a conventional spring-foam mattress with no known Teflon-type coating or prominent stain-resistant coatings listed in public specs. However, the brand does not publicly disclose whether flame-retardants, durable water repellents, or other PFAS-based additives are used in covers or foam.

The full breakdown
What it's made of and why it matters
The Beautyrest Level Two uses polyurethane foam as its core comfort layer, steel coil springs for support, and a polyester-blend fabric cover. Polyurethane foam itself is a stable, encapsulated material once cured, meaning the risk of chemical off-gassing or leaching is low after manufacture and initial airing. The steel coils are inert. The fabric cover is the primary exposure surface, and polyester blends may be treated with dyes, finishes, or antimicrobial agents during production.
The brand's record and disclosure
Beautyrest does not publicly disclose specific chemical treatments, flame retardant formulations, or fabric finish details for the Level Two model. The brand has no documented major recalls or safety controversies tied to chemical hazards in mattress products. Beautyrest does not appear to pursue third-party certifications like Certipur-US (foam standards) or OEKO-TEX (textile safety), which would signal proactive transparency but their absence does not confirm hazard presence.
How it compares in its category
Mid-range innerspring-hybrid mattresses like the Level Two are common and generally pose lower chemical exposure risk than memory foam or all-foam models, which can off-gas volatile compounds during the first weeks. Beautyrest's lack of certification is typical for the mainstream budget-to-mid market; premium brands and natural-materials competitors more often pursue third-party validation. The polyurethane foam formulation itself is standard industry chemistry without known restricted ingredients.
If you buy it
Unbox and air out the mattress in a well-ventilated room for 24 to 48 hours before use to dissipate any residual factory odors. Use a mattress protector to limit direct skin contact with the fabric cover and reduce dust mite colonization. Rotate or flip the mattress every 3 to 6 months (check product manual for flip eligibility) to even wear. Replace after 7 to 10 years or if sagging, surface softening, or visible coil protrusion occurs.
Beyond PFAS: other things we checked
Established hazard classes for this product type, assessed from public information. These never change the PFAS grade; a Likely flag caps the Verdict at “Buy with care.”
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) off-gassing
Polyurethane foam can release trace VOCs during the first days to weeks after manufacture. Beautyrest does not certify foam to Certipur-US, so specific solvent and isocyanate residue limits are unknown. Airing the mattress thoroughly on arrival minimizes exposure.
Formaldehyde in fabric finishes
No recalls or reported formaldehyde issues in Beautyrest mattresses are on record. Standard polyester fabric covers may contain trace formaldehyde resins from dye-setting or water-resistant treatments, but this is not unique to this brand and is typically low-risk in finished textiles.
Antimicrobial or pesticide coatings on fabric
Beautyrest does not disclose whether the fabric cover includes antimicrobial silver, copper, or synthetic pesticide treatments. No adverse events or chemical safety flags are documented for this model; standard industry practice would use minimal such treatments in budget mattress covers.
Flame retardant chemicals
US federal flammability standards (16 CFR 1633) require mattresses to pass open-flame tests, typically achieved with brominated or chlorinated flame retardant chemicals in foam or fabric. Beautyrest does not specify which flame retardant is used in the Level Two. No recalls or chemical safety complaints specific to this product are known.
Microplastics or dust from degrading foam or fabric
Over 7 to 10 years, polyurethane foam can crumble or shed fine particles, and polyester fabric can shed microfibers, especially if the cover degrades. This is normal wear rather than acute hazard but warrants a protective cover and periodic cleaning to limit inhalation exposure.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 72% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
